Today in 1918, Wop May becomes the last pilot pursued by the Red Baron.
During the aerial combat, Manfred von Richthofen is hit in the chest, killing him in less than a minute.
Who killed him? Possibly Canadian Arthur Roy Brown, possibly troops on the ground 🤷#canada #history #histodon #histodons #ww1 #fww #firstworldwar
